Goodreads summary:
Macey McHenry—Glamorous society girl or spy-in-training?
W.W. Hale V—Heir to an American dynasty or master thief?
There are two sides to every coin. Whether these two can work together is a tossup.
Born into privilege, Macey and Hale are experts at mingling with the upper class. But even if they’ve never raised an eyebrow at the glitz, neither teenager has ever felt at home with the glamour.
When Macey and Hale meet at a society gala, the party takes a dangerous turn. Suddenly they’re at the center of a hostage situation, and it’s up to them to stop the thugs from becoming hostile. Will Macey’s spy skills and Hale’s con-man ways be enough to outsmart a ruthless gang? Or will they have to seek out the ultimate inside girl to help?
The worlds of Heist Society and the Gallagher Girls collide in Ally Carter’s fast-paced, high-stakes and tantalizing new story. Get a behind the scenes glimpse as Ally delivers an irresistible thriller that is full of her signature style and savvy twists.
Mini Review:
Lawdy be. I am a big Ally Carter fan and love both of these series (so much so that I was Cammie’s heroine tourney advocate back in the day), so I was thrilled beyond words when she announced this novella.
And it is everything a novella should be. It’s one conflict, without a confusion of a myriad of subplots. It’s fast-paced– perfectly paced, in fact — and kept me hooked. It has the snappy dialogue and hilarious moments of humor that you’re used to from Ally Carter’s other work, right alongside action and characters that I love all across the board.
And there’s Hale.
Every book should have a Hale. More Hale, I say.
To sum up? You’re not spending any money, and it’s a breeze of a read. What on earth are you waiting for, crazy?
